OUTING REPORT
Being our last Time Out trip for 2013 we had a good turn-out
of ladies all dressed with something RED in
their hair or clothing. Red always makes
everyone happy, but going to Wellington at
the end of November it might have been
better to wear beige or white! (Because of
the heat!).
We started our day at the Pacmar
factory
outside Wellington. They make delicious
juices and their tiny little factory shop
had the ladies queuing outside taking turns
in the shop to buy fruit juice to take home.
Next stop was the
Glodina Towel Factory shop where
you would have sworn that the ladies had
never before seen new towels………trolleys and
huge bags later we all got back onto the
coach.
Festa was our restaurant
of choice for lunch, situated just at the
start to the Bainskloof Pass road. It is on
the KleineValleij
wine farm and is very
picturesque. The views make one instantly
feel that you are out in the country and the
peace was tangible! (Until the ladies
started to enjoy the lunch and then the
noise drowned out the peace!)
First course was Branco bread (like a pizza)
with a delicious filling. This was followed
by their Buffet-to-table meal which
comprised dishes brought to the table for
you to serve yourself. A very good concept
because then everyone can choose what they
want to eat. They could choose from
Bobotie ;
Chicken Pie ; Delicious fresh oven baked
vegetables ; and a huge salad.
A lovely concept and very sociable.
Everyone had brought along a gift and these were exchanged
before we received our dessert, which was a
bread and butter croissant pudding which
everyone finished, but claimed that the
portion was too large!
Good wishes to all for Christmas and the year of 2014 which
lies ahead of us!
